Summer Visiting.
Good Housekeeping.

Good Housekeeping.
Country residents are prOverbially
hOspitable, and for that reason, we
should be dOubly careful not to impose
upon them, for as general rule, they
are so Overrun with company that the
end of the summer finds them worn
out. Every member of a household is
an added care to the head of it especi-
ally if, as is so often the case, there
are few servants, or none at all, and
even if the mistress is fortunate enough
to possess a crop of we'll trained do
disarrange the household affairs in the
lower regions.
If you are fortunate enough to have
IA friend to whom you know visit will
afford real pleasure, by little fore
thought you can yet make it more en-
joyable. In the first place, fix def
mite time for your departure before
you arrive. If she is not wise enough
to do SO, be sure when you write to
announce your coming, to say on what
day you will leave, and then be still
more sure that you do leave, no mat
ter how Hospitality you may be urged
to prolOng your stay. 1t is better to
nave your departure sincerely regret
ted, than to have the faintest feeling
of relief that you are gone.
There are many ways in which a
summer visitor may be a real help. If
circumstances warrant it, you can offer
your aid in household matters, and
spend an hour hulling strawberries, Jr
whipping the cream which you are
afterwards to enjoy, and if you see
that assistance of that kind will not be
acceptable, there will be still some
thing that you can do you can arrange
the flowers that perhaps the busy
house mother never finds time for,
and yet enjoys so much you can coax
the children out of the kitchen, when
you know she is specially busy, and
entertain them in your own room, and
there are countless other little things
that a kindly heart and quick eye
will discover, in which you can make
your presence a constant comfort.

NEW YORK. April 12--Henry F. Mer-
ritt. of Illinois, United States consul at
Aix-La-C a-Chappelle, Germany, called on Col
lector Magone yesterday. He presented
letters from the presidents private secre-
tary. from Assistant Secretary Porter and
from Secretary Fairchild. 1t was stated
that Mr.. Merrtts visit will probably result
in some startling developments. Mr.. Mer-
ritt has devoted his attention to the ques-
ton of alleged undervaluations of mer-
chandise imported from Germany. He has
in his possession samples. accompanied by
invoices, showing the valuation at which
the goods have been imported into
the United States, and an array
of figures showing the actual valuation of
those goods at the port of export. The eX-
ports from Aix-La-C -Chappelle alone into the
United States amount to $4,000, 900 year.
The under valuation on those Imports,
taken at the lowest rate suggested by the
samples and figures in Mr.. Merritt's posses.
sion, amounts to 10 per cent. or 5000. 900
year. The actual figures, it is believed,
will run beyond that. Mr. Merritt has had
interviews with the president and the sec
retary of the treasury, as well as with his
immediate superior officers in the state de-
partment. After long conference with Mr..
Magone yesterday, Mr.. Magone took the
o'clock train to Washington.

Alleged Compulsion.

PITTsFTELD, Mass, April 12.-In the dis
trict court this morning Mrs. Mary McGrelely,
aged 25 years, of New Lenox, told Judge
Tucker, privately, most frightful story of
an inhuman outrage perpetrated on her last
night. The recital of the story came in con-
nection with the arrest of Henry A; Burbank,
the proprietor of we'll known hotel, and
William Murshall, Burkank's intimate COM
panion for assault and attempt at rape on a
charge made by the woman, who says she met
Burbank last evening and asked him if he
could show her any place where she could get
cheap lodgings for the night. He enticed her
into buggy and drove with her to a house
on the borders of Onata Lake, two miles west
of the town, where, in company with man
named Marshall. he handcuffed her and sub
jected her to outrageous indignities, threat
ening to shoot her. She escaped from the
house where the outrage occurred to neigh
boring one, where she was sheltered. Bur
bank and Marshall were held in So. 500 bail
for further examination. Both men deny
that any compulsion was used with the
woman.

Alleged Election Frauds.

JERSEY CITY, N. J., April 12.-The entire
election board of the Eighth precinct, Second
district, Jersey City, was arrested this after
noon for tampering with the ballot boxes.
The board consists OF Patrick Golden. Judge
Patrick McGinnis and Owen McCabe inspect
ors, and c. T. Dolan clerk. At the noon re-
cess policeman saw Clerk Dolan putting the
register book into the ballot box. The book
contained about thirty tickets. The tickets
were folded, and several of them dropped
into the box before the clerk could be ar
rested. Murphy took the registry book ont
and found that about $50 tickets had been
carefully folded and placed between the
leaves. A number of citizens witnessed the
attempt. The officers sent for assistance and
the entire board, together with the ballou box
and registry book, were taken to the police
station. Subsequently new election boardwas
elected in the precinct and voting proceeded
as usual. The prisoners were arraigned,
waived examination and were held in $1,000
bail each to appear before the grand jury.
Michael Kane made an additional charge
against Dolan. He swore that when he went
to vote he was told that his name had been
checked, and that some one had already voted
for him. The bail bond was then increased
to So, 400, for each of tue prisoners.

companies. Being unused to the tricks
of the old heads they were easily led on
until they were so deep in the tolls that they
could not get out If they wanted to. tele-
gram from Harrisburg, Pa, states that bill
was introduced in the state legislature last
night which is intended to cover such cases
as the railroad car robberies brought to light
In this city yesterday. The bill is in the
shape of an amendment to the penal cod e,
'relating to breaking or entering cars or To-
comotives." AT present there is no specific
law for breaking open car, unless 1t Is
proved that the car was forced with intent to
commit felony. The proposed act provides
THAT any person who shall in the day time
break and enter any car, caboose or lOcomo-
tive, or wilfully and maliclously, either by day
or night, with or without breaking. enter the
same with intent to commit any felony what
ever therein, the person so offending shall be
guilty of felony and on conviction be SEN
fenced to pay fine not exceeding $500 and
to undergo an imprisonment by separate and
solitary confinement at labor not exceeding
four years." Of course this cannot apply to
the present cases in Pittsburg, but 1t will
cover any that may occur in the future.
THERE WAS CONSULTATION
this morning between Assistant District
Attorney Pagan and John H. Hampton,
attorney for the Pennsylvania company, in
regard to the Indictment and trial of the
prisoners. The trials will be pushed as
speedily as possible. 1t is believed that
large number of the men will plead guilty on
one or two charges, aud thus escape a trial
on an accuwmulation of charges. A number
of the petty fellows, whose stealings were
trifling, will be discharged and told TO leave
this part OF the country. The wages of the
men against whom charges have been made
have been withheld by the company on the
ground that the men owe much more to the
company than is due them. ''Some people
wonder why we allowed these depredations tc
continue so long, said Mr.. Hampton. sit is
very easily explained. While it is simple
enough to discover the fact that the freight
trains are being robbed it is not at all easy
to tell just where the robbing is going on.
After locating the particular part Of the line
between Philadelphia or St. Louis where the
crews were stealing, it took a long time to
get direct evidence against the men. We
have acted with prudence and care. and the
result will be conviction in every case"
There is little doubt that the present eX-
posure will lead to others on other roads.
Some Of these are in the Pennsylvania COM
pany'S system and some in the Baltimore &
Ohio. 1t is said that the stealing on these
other roads was not confined to box car
freights. Through the aid of teamsters nd
yard agents large quantities of pig iron and
manufactured iron and steel have been
stolen from the cars in PittSburg and in seY-
eral other cities not far away. These cases
will be Investigated.

Snlu.glcd Cigars.

NEW YORK, April 12.-The custom house
authorities are making desperate efforts to
break up the extensive business done in
smuggled cigars on the steamers running to
Cuba and West Indian ports. To-day an ex-
tenSive seizure of cigars was made. AS soon
as the Santiago arrived in port everything on
the vessel was sealed up by the custom house
officers, who then went through the ship and
found concealed in various parts 2,66g. cigars
and seventy-five bundles of cigarcttes The
captain was sent for, and explained that he
merely signed the manifest as placed bei ore
him by the purser, who made it up at Guaran-
tine. The explanation was satisfactory. The
following additional seizures were added to
the list in the treasury office: Steamer Cien-
fuegos, 1000 cigars: Niagara, 1,400: City of
Alexandria, 3,400; Saratoga, 400 cigars and
$500 cigarettes. All the goods were entered
on the ships manifests as ''stores.''

W. Voice and Patrick O'Neil, the two East
st. Louis policemen indicted for the murder
of ex-Mayor Bowman, was set for yesterday
in the circuit court. When the cases were
called the state asked for a continuance. on
the ground that two important witnesses
were absent. AS the state had already been
granted two contnuances Judge Snyder said
he would insist that the cases go to trial. The
states attorney made another argument. for
a continuance, but the court ruled against
him, and the state thereupon entered nolle
prosequi in both cases and the prisoners
were discharged. Voice and O'Neil were
arrested on the confessions of two East St.
